good morning, america. good morning, america. breaking now, running for their lives. >> go, go. >> thousands flee massive fires fueled by inferno-like gusts in colorado. dozens of huge homes already burned. and in the east, one in five americans at risk for gigantic storms that could pack 100-mile-an-hour winds. also happening now. escalating clashes in one of the most popular tourist destinations for americans. protesters in turkey, fighting police with fireworks. cops pushing them back with tear gas and rubber bullets. our live report from the center of the chaos. caught on tape. the shocking moments this mother and her 8-month-old baby are in the path of an out-of-control taxi. the infant trapped and what happened next was amazing. how they both walked away. and take a look at this.

the moment this driver hot shotting on an arizona mountain road, loses control, goes over a cliff, cameras rolling. he walks away with barely a scratch. oh, my. and good morning, america, on this wednesday morning. josh, taking a little time off today. great to have amy robach in with us this morning. >> thank you. >> and as always, a lot to get to. it's going to be a tough day of weather ahead. you're about to hear the word you see on the screen right now. you're going to hear that a lot over the next 48 hours. >> it's called derecho. that's what could be developing right now. 64 million people at risk from chicago to washington, from these massive winds. sam explains it all in just a moment. but first, let's get the latest on the fast-moving

wildfires out west right now. they forced thousands of people to evacuate so quickly. abc's clayton sandell is in colorado springs, colorado. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning, george. you can see from the smoke that this fire is still burning out of control. and this morning, 6,000 people are out of their homes, chased away be this 8,000-acre monster. overnight, thousands of people told to leave home had to race to escape giant flames. they loaded up horses and as much of their lives as they could carry. >> we took photographs. things that we can't replace, we brought with us. other than that, we're saying fire insurance has a reason for it. >> reporter: flames are hopscotching through dry trees and brush. along the way, destroying dozens of homes. >> our commander is estimating somewhere between 40 and 60. you can easily assume that is higher than that. >> reporter: smoke could be seen more than 70 miles away. >> this plume is just enormous. it goes on for miles and miles. and miles. >> reporter: with winds and record-hot temperatures, the weather could not be much worse.

denver hit 100 degrees tuesday, a high never recorded this early in the year. fires are erupting all over colorado, this one in rocky mountain national park. another near canyon city, forcing state prison officials to move 800 inmates out of the fire's path. flames came dangerously close to the famous royal gorge bridge. but it was spared. and so was this baby deer. >> tried to feed it water. >> reporter: who made it to safety, thanks to this firefighter. and this morning, thousands of homes are still threatened. many of them, $1 million-plus. and with more hot, dry fire weather today, this is going to be a very long fight. robin? >> it certainly is. but those firefighters are something else. thank you, clayton. now, to that massive storm of strong and powerful winds that could affect so many americans today. the risk of severe weather, very high across much of the country. and, sam, you've been explaining this to us.

>> yeah, derecho, again spanish origin, straight line, because that's the way the storms travel. yesterday, we showed you this is where we thought they would occur. let's show you pictures from last year's event. this was in june, and it ran from illinois to virginia, along one line of storms. 5 million people lost their power, 22 people lost their lives. about $1 billion in damage. that's how bad this line of storms can be, if it does develop. now, the fbc is saying it doesn't develop. the conditions are right for it to happen. this is kind of a long area of strong to severe storms will develop. they're characterized by strong, straight-line winds. that's anywhere from 72 to 100 miles per hour. they're powered by the jet stream. they're fueled and expand and run fast, and they're long running, on the ground for at least 240 miles. and some cases like last year, 600 to 700 miles. know this -- there's a large area of strong to severe storms that will develop in the next couple days. if a derecho develops, it has the ability, because it has the

jet stream behind it, to run for hundreds of miles. and if one develops, by 8:00 this evening, it could run for several time periods, being on the ground for hundreds of miles. and because they're on the ground for such a long time, over populated areas, they can really do a lot of damage. stay up with your local abc stations. and this is the day to not be outside if severe weather threatens your area. just immediately grabs the kids if they're outside and move inside. this could be a dangerous situation. >> good advice. >> thanks, sam. we're going overseas to the dramatic clashes in turkey, where police are taking on anti-government protesters in the heart of that country's capital. abc's alex marquardt is there. and alex, u.s. officials are watching this closely, because turkey is a key ally that borders syria, iraq and iran. >> reporter: that's right, george. this square behind me has been ground zero for these protests. and overnight, it resembled something a war zone, with riot police moving in, firing tear gas and water canons against the

protesters who are unlikely to back down. setting the stage for what could be another violent day. rocks, fireworks and tear gas flying through the air, as protesters clashed with police overnight, in the worst violence since these protests started. >> they just shoot right into the crowd. and people were basically running. and people were afraid to be run over. >> reporter: in protests that have now spread across the country, at least three people have been killed and thousands wounded. globally, turkey is the sixth-most visited country by tourists. over 500,000 americans visit every year. that could now be in jeopardy with these biggest protests in decades. shaking the leadership of this man, prime minister recep tayyip erdogan. a crucial american ally. here, they're say he's increasingly authoritarian and . >> he wants to control everything. he doesn't want anything against

him. >> reporter: the prime minister says he has the support of the majority of the turkish population,, and says he won't tolerate the protests. so, george, for now, it's hard to see how these protests end peacefully. >> he's cracking down hard. okay, alex, thanks for that. now, back here at home, a series of bomb scares across the country in the last 24 hours that grounded planes and shut down campuses. abc's pierre thomas is in washington with the latest on the mysterious wave of threats. and people want to know what's going on here, pierre. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the fbi is racing to find behind those threats, which disrupted the lives of thousands over the last 48 hours. in richmond, virginia, a bomb threat shuts down the city's airport for 3 1/2 hours tuesday. the threat came in by phone. the caller claiming to be with the taliban. >> a security guard came by and looked at me and said, ma'am, you're going to need to put down the coffee and leave the building. >> reporter: around the same time at princeton university in new jersey. >> developing news out of princeton, the campus remains evacuated after a bomb threat.

>> reporter: students and teachers were evacuated after separate bomb threats against multiple buildings on campus, displacing thousands. >> something's going on. and it must be something showing up that they're shutting everything down. >> reporter: and in atlanta, two other bomb threats led to massive evacuations. near the state capitol in georgia. tuesday's threats came after a plane was forced to make an emergency landing in phoenix overnight monday. f-16 fighter jets escorting a texas-bound southwest airlines flight from l.a., after someone called in a threat. as in richmond, the caller claimed to be with the taliban. >> the callers sometimes will impersonate the taliban, al qaeda or some other extremist group, because they believe it gives their call more credibility. and law enforcement will ratchet up their reaction and response to it. >> reporter: the fbi is now trying to determine if the threats, which were all made by phone, are linked. no bombs were found and the threats were bogus. but these hoaxes are treated

seriously because they burn up so much time in law enforcement resources. and, in fact, such threats are federal crimes. maximum penalty -- five years in jail, george. >> that's serious. okay, pierre, thanks very much. we're going to get the latest now on the hunt for the national security leaker, edward snowden. he's on the run. the u.s. is on the hunt. and he is under scrutiny with more questions about whether intelligence officials told the truth to congress. brian ross is here with the latest. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, george. it's game on between the former intelligence insider and the u.s. spy agencies where he once worked. he has gone rogue. the u.s. was tracking snowden, even before he appeared on that video recorded in hong kong. and snowden would know exactly how every phone call, credit card transaction, internet logon, airport checkpoint. every u.s. surveillance program he revealed could be used to track him. >> if they want to get you, they'll get you in time. >> reporter: authorities tell abc news, prosecutors plan to use provisions of the espionage

act to bring criminal charges against snowden, with a possible penalty of life in prison. >> he has said from the start that he knows that once he made the choice to inform the public about these programs that all of his options were bad options. i think it's safe to say that he won't be living a free and unrestrained life. >> reporter: in washington, members of congress began a series of top-secret briefings on the programs snowden revealed. >> anybody who reveals classified information, is doing, you know -- is undermining our intelligence programs. >> reporter: but there continue to be questions about whether congress was misled about the secret programs. including this exchange, with the director of national intelligence, james clapper, in march. >> does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. >> it does not? >> not wittingly. >> reporter: now, that answer is

being called into question. a lot of the leaks that snowden revealed about the phone records of millions of americans were, in fact, being collected by the government for years, george. >> okay, brian. thanks very much. let's get some more headlines, now, from amy in for josh. big debate today in the senate. >> we begin with that landmark immigration bill, clearing a key hurdle on capitol hill. the senate voting overwhelmingly to start debating the proposal which would create a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants. president obama endorsing the bipartisan measure tuesday, saying it would also include the tightest ever border control provision. and the cleveland man charged with holding three women for a decade. ariel castro is expected to plead not guilty 2039 charges, including kidnapping, rape, even murder, because of allegations he caused one of the women to suffer multiple miscarriages. legal experts say that a lack of physical evidence could jeopardize a murder conviction and a death sentence.

also happening today, opening statements in the trial of reputed boston mob boss whitey bulger, charged with 19 murders. a judge refused to delay the trial any further, despite claims the police have helped protect a hit man, who's expected to be a star witness. and caught on video. an explosion literally ripping the roof off of this high school gym. the boiler room blew up. thankfully it happened before classes, and no one was seriously hurt. back here in new york, surveillance video showing a mother and a child in the path of an out-of-control cab. it jumped the curb. you just saw that. it striked the mother. and then, it trapped her 8-month-old. the mom dives underneath, drags her baby to safety. they are both okay. look at that. it's remarkable, considering what that baby stroller looked like after the crash. wow. and a bizarre sight before the texas rangers game. a huge sinkhole opening up behind the pitcher's mound. a busted water pipe was to

blame. they actually had to cancel batting practice. but they plugged it back up just in time for the game. and it was raining three-pointers as the spurs blew out the heat in game three of the nba finals. got some excited fans here. they poured in 16 shots from downtown. that was a finals record. but lebron james, meanwhile, missing 14 shots. he scored only four points in the first half. >> not to worry. not to worry. >> the final, 113-77. spurs take the series lead. with game three tomorrow night here on abc. i read somewhere someone was comparing lebron james' performance with meryl streep forgetting to act. >> oh. >> that's a minor lapse. >> okay. >> a little cocky over here. >> not getting cocky. josh and i are the ones -- >> there's a lot of paper stacking going on here. >> it's a long series. it's a long series. >> there's a lot of paper there, robin roberts.

>> all right, josh, you should be here, too. we're going to move on to the high-profile trial of george zimmerman. lawyers questioning the potential jurors for a third day today. all eyes on that jury and how race could play a part in who is selected to serve. abc's matt gutman is on the scene there in stanford, -- sanford, florida, and has the very latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. two full days in and still not a single juror seated. there's a potential pool of 400 additional jurors. but this is a process that could take weeks, as lawyers try to peel back the layers of where these people stand on the sensitive issues like guns and race. this morning, a new group of potential jurors will face yet another round of grilling from a courtroom full of lawyers. >> i ask you to tell me one thing you remember reading about what would it be? >> you did not, on purpose, form an opinion? >> reporter: attorneys on both sides have been ordered to avoid discussing race. on tuesday, a juror raised it for them. >> a lot of people have taken sides? tell me what you mean by that.

>> there seems to be a lot of people that feel mr. zimmerman shot mr. martin or followed him, attacked him, based on his race. >> reporter: several jurors talking about the sweatshirt trayvon martin was wearing the night he was killed. that hoodie has become a national symbol for the case. >> my son dresses the same way. i wear hoodies, too. >> reporter: in february 2012, george zimmerman, a white hispanic neighborhood watchman shot the black teen in the dark. zimmerman claims it was self-defense and has pleaded not guilty. if you're the defense, what kind of juror do you want? >> i want a gun owner. i want people who have been victimized before. >> reporter: if you're the prosecution, what kind of juror are you looking for? >> i want those who can identify with trayvon martin. certainly anyone who's been profiled or harassed in any way. >> reporter: while more than 70 jurors have already been

disqualified, what may be most surprising is how few have tried to get dismissed. >> this is a very high-profile trial. who wouldn't want to sit on it? >> reporter: now, the next stage of selection is really when the questions get tough. the lawyers are going to start grilling those jurors directly about how they feel about guns and race. but there is some room for optimism. the lawyers we've been talking to are saying they like what they've seen so far from the jurors. and that a jury could be seated by some time next week. robin? >> and this is the time frame that was expected. thank you, matt, and both sides have said, they want a fair and impartial jury. everyone who drives has to pay attention to this next story. surprising new finding about distracted driving. we all know that we're not supposed to hold our phones behind the wheel. but a new study from aaa shows that hands-free technology that lets you talk or text with both hands on the wheel may create more distractions. abc's david kerley tested it out. >> reporter: some estimates

suggests that half of accidents like this are caused by distracted drivers. [ screaming ] >> this is going to be a great look for me. i'm about to look really strange for science. >> i'm going to put the chin strap on. >> reporter: all to prove whether all of those voice-activated gadgets automakers are putting in cars make me a safer or more when they all start turning black, that's when the electrodes are starting to connect to my brain. >> reporter: so, wired up with electrodes on my face and this attractive skull cap with even more, we tested to see how much my brain can do. i drive listening to the radio, i click a button with my thumb. and using the same thing with a speech to text system, listening to and answering e-mails. >> would you want to meet in my office? repeat. reply. >> reporter: reply. >> okay, what would you like to say? >> reporter: how abut friday, at 1:00, in your office? send. turns out that speech-to-text system that lets you keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, caused more

distractions than anything else the researchers tested. >> your brain is so overloaded with these speech-to-text tasks, or talking on a cell phone, that you have very little residual capacity to tend to the roadways. >> reporter: the aaa, which sponsored this study, wants restrictions. >> the speech-to-text technology should only be able to be used or limited to use for drivers when the vehicle is stopped. >> reporter: a surprising finding, that our brains can't do it all, even when our eyes are on the road. david kerley, abc news, landover, maryland. >> just got to keep your eyes on the road. >> yep. >> one thing at a time. and sam, you're keeping your eyes on the storms. >> yeah, we're going to stay with storms for the top of the hour only because i really want people to know when they're coming and what's going on with them. some of them can be tough and long-running. again, the idea is, there will be a large area of severe storms, a couple of them today. in this line that's on the eastern side, from illinois all

the way to washington, d.c., over the next two days, we could get these particularly strong storms that develop in a long, running line that stay on the ground for a long period of time. so, stay up with that area of storms, and this is the zone we're talking about. mostly today, chicago and indianapolis, all the way to columbus. this kind of shifts east as we get into the day on thursday, as well. thursday, we still have the area of strong to severe storms from washington into philly. this is a zone that has tornadoes with it. because it's a high-populated area on thursday, we want to pay attention to it, too.

>> coming up in the next half hour, we're going to talk heat. phoenix and denver looking for record highs. >> sizzling out there. thank you, sam. coming up, the swimsuit designer found dead in her hotel room. her wealthy boyfriend now on trial for her murder. also ahead, the actress who cracked the cold case. finally tracking down the man who took her father's life. and provocative pictures that have so many people doing a double-take.

cache said she was trying to break off the relationship with brooks. there were e-mails and letters from cache, that show how tumultuous the relationship had become. she was a bathing suit designer for tommy hilfiger and victoria's secret. he was the trust fund baby of the composer who wrote "you light up my life." this morning, nicholas brooks is on trial for his own life. accused of murdering his girlfriend, sylvie cache, in the sojo hotel in 2010. on tuesday, cache's friends testified shortly before she died, she e-mailed that brooks was bringing her down. calling the 24-year-old a man-boy. >> one friend said that it was a really tumultuous relationship. >> reporter: cache's friends told jurors, when the 33-year-old designer discovered

that brooks was hiring prostitutes, she wanted to break the relationship. when she tried to break things off, he choked and drowned her in the hotel room tub. brooks has pled not guilty. his lawyers said cache took too many prescription pills that might and passed out in the tub. prosecutors have painted brooks as a drug-using slacker. on friday, they suggested brooks had another reason to be angry. presenting jurors with a five-page-long do-to list that cache allegedly made for him. no random drinking or drug use. if you can't do all these things, then this likely won't work. but brooks' lawyers say the couple was in love. he was out of the room having drinks with people he met at the hotel, when hotel workers discovered cache dead in the tub. and sylvie's family said in a statement, while we're agonizing the prosecution of her killer, we're determined to see that justice is done. and that sylvie's spirit and

passion for life live on forever. >> we're going to bring in dan abrams for more on this. dan, what are the key points in the prosecution's favor? >> in addition to what you heard amy talking about, which were letters she wrote, he was there. he checked in with her. this is the middle of the night. this is not an easy place to get into. this hotel/club. random people don't walk around there. he asked a detective when they initially arrived how much time he could serve. if convicted of this. a witness heard an argument in their room. i mean, all of the evidence seems to point towards him. and yet, the defense is, she overdosed on drugs and as a result, she passed out in the tub. >> on top of all this, the medical examiner's report -- >> becomes absolutely crucial, right? the medical examiner says strangulation. if you believe the medical

examiner, how do you not find a guilty verdict? if the medical examiner is right this is was strangulation, he's in big trouble. that's why the m.e.'s testimony, cross-examination of the m.e., the conclusions that are drawn here are going to be crucial. >> an investigator found it curious that she had on a sweater in the tub. and her family said she wasn't known for bathing or showering than taking a bath. >> prosecutors are going to point to that as evidence they were in the middle of the fight. or the defense could say, she was in the process of undressing when she passed out. the defense has a lot of explaining to do. they don't have a burden here. but all of the evidence points towards this. it's going to be interesting to see how they defend this case. >> dan, thank you very much, as always. justin bieber's latest run-in with the law. he's being sued by a photographer, saying one of bieber's bodyguards roughed him

you don't need to take the strings out. you can get a mirror cut. >> that's a great mantique. >> reporter: the old rackets were $5 each. and the mirrors, just $10 apiece. and the result, priceless. and here are the results. this is our first mantique. old sporting equipment. super easy to find. inexpensive. you can give a preppy look. thank you, david. he's my mantiquing partner. we'll somehow you the other thing that we made. come on down to our industrial light fixture. you see things like this in very high-end stores these days, and this cost us next to nothing. and the only tool you used was a drill. we got some edison bulbs. look for these pieces. you can find them at flea markets and yard sales. and finally, here's our chair. every man deserves a great throne, and this is it. and it looks really, really neat.

it's inside-out. there it was, as it was broken, gnarly rope, and now, here it is, where the webbing is the star. david, we thank you. everybody, check out other do it yourself father's day gifts at goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! and sam, i have a mantique for you. but first, i need your weather. >> oh, lara, take a look at whapg is here in times square. gilles marini. this is unfair. i have to get up and stand next to you. ladies, look at this. this is so unfair. we know you and love you from when you're here from "dancing with the stars." also, you have a hit show on abc family now. "switched at birth." you're going into your second season. and this season is supposed to get edgier. a little edgier, tell me what we can expect. >> this season, much more edgier. there's going to be a lot of love interests, love. >> wait. did you just say skin?

>> yeah. >> ladies and gentlemen -- [ cheers and applause ] i mean, the only reason we say it is that you made the taking the shirt off thing a big deal on "dancing with the stars." now, everybody has to do it because you did it. so, even in this show -- >> well, the first season was, actually, i think the set producer didn't know really what was i doing before. so, i said the "dancing with the stars," they're like, wow, we should use this. but i think there's a little bit of -- a lot more edgier. and it relates more to 17-year-old teenagers what's going on with their lives. it's a great season. >> a fantastic show. while you're here, are you going to do anything special while you're here? >> i'm celebrating. i'm very fortunate. i'm going to celebrate the 20th anniversary of perry ellis. and we're going to ring the nasdaq bell. >> it is exciting. you feel like you have the power

of the entire economy right there in your hands. >> hopefully, we gain some points. >> you don't want it to be on a bad day. gilles, thanks for coming back. "switched at birth," mondays at 8:00, 7:00 central. let's show you what's going on outside your doors or your world, as you step outside. one or two pictures, you have sent us. a malibu picture that we absolutely love. and by the way, okay, arkadelphia. some of the storms are going to get powerful over the next couple of days. the term derecho will be coming out. that's the weather around the nation. good morning. i'm mike nicco. check out the sunshine everywhere, even the the coast, but the breeze will keep you in your 60s today, mid-60s to mid-70s around the bay, mid-70s to low 80s

>> it is lovely outside, isn't it? >> he's wonderful. i had to come out and see this wonderful crowd we have here with us, just like you said, as advertised. >> it is the best. it only gets better when the days are great. all of that weather was brought to you by bush beans. the weather is what brought robin roberts out to say hi. >> namaste. inside to george. i'm with dr. rebecca bailey. she helped counsel jaycee dugard after her kidnapping ordeal. she just wrote a book. "safe kids, smart parents." it's great to have you here. and i want to get to the tips in just a second, but jaycee dugard's mom wrote the forward to your book. how is she doing now? >> fantastic. very good. >> that's great to know. ali and i talk to our girls about this all the time. and it's so good to have the advice written down. what are the most important

things we can tell our kids about how to be safe? >> well, first of all, to be aware, to be aware of their surroundings. to be aware of where they are when they're walking across the street. where their parents are. so, safety is really important, without fear. and one of the main pieces in this book is don't scare your kids. but be clear that they know what's out there. that they hear these stories. >> how do you do that? because, obviously, you want to make sure that kids never get in a car with strangers. you don't want them to be so wary of everyone around them. >> i think age-appropriate information is really important. so, when you're talking to younger kids, itre than middle schoolers and older kids. but just like anything, we use the analogy of a pool. when you take a child to a pool and they first go, you teach them safety about a pool. same thing about dealing with being out in the bigger world. >> and i take it that it's that

age group 10 to 14 that's at the most risk, tends to be the most risk for abduction. >> yes, that's true. and that's for a lot of reasons. one reason is they have more freedom than the younger kids. and also because of issues like suggestibility. they might be more able to be coerced into a situation. so, having conversations about the subject early on, often, is really important. we talk about communication, education equals knowledge. >> and the possible threats grow once the kids get online. what's the most important rule for social media? >> well, the number one, at least in my home, i've raised five kids, has been that the computer is in a common room. number one. try to have an open dialogue with your children. if there is cyberbullying, which my teenage daughter tells me is one of the biggest issues in high schools, have a communication with them that they can talk to you about it, they can unfriend someone on facebook.

and they also can go to the school because cyberbullying is a huge issue in the high schools. >> it sure is. dr. bailey, thanks very much. the book is "safe kids, smart parents." coming up, a revealing interview with myrlie evers on this historic anniversary. t after this.

>> we knew almost from the beginning, both of us were native mississippians. we did have that conversation, one where both of us cried and held on to each other. and he told me you must do this for me. you must take care of my children. and you keep the movement going in your heart. i told him, i can't make it without you. and he said to me, i'll never forget this, you're a stronger woman than you think you are. >> there's been exhibits. and the rifle on display. what was it like for you to see what took your husband's life? >> i went to the exhibit. and there was this rifle in this plexiglas case. and i had to stop in my tracks. the trigger represented hatred to me. >> your husband was right.

it was a full performance. i enjoyed myself to no end. and i had on this red dress that was made for me. and i was able to lean in the curve of the baby grand. and it was just marvelous. it was a dream come true. >> thank you. it has been a delight. >> i thank you. and i'm so pleased to say we are both from mississippi. >> yes, we are. >> thank you. she is a blessing. and she makes 80 years old look good. >> she does. >> and i appreciate how she said i'm more than the widow of. that was very powerful for women to say that. >> and she has been for so long. >> absolutely, she has. and she has the medgar and myrlie evers institute, dedicated to raising awareness of social justice. we hope you'll visit our website on goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! coming up, the one and only, laurence fishburne here live.

why does it resonate still? >> because superman is in every one of us. everybody is superman. and everybody can relate to him. >> we all have some sort of power in us that's greater than we think. or allows us to be greater than we think we can be. >> yeah. there's moments in this movie, when your skin has goosebumps. and the hairs are standing up on top of it. did you see yourself as perry white? >> no. but i'm glad somebody did. >> it's amazing. i'm glad they did, too. what you do in that role is incredible. what a great film. it opens up nationwide on friday. do not miss it. action movie to a whole other level. come back, sir. we'll be right back. stay with us.
